...squint in his eye, and Patcheen is lame in his heel, or the mad Mulrannies were driven from California and they lost in their wits"--not a decent man in the lot. Since Pegeen is a romantic, brainy, and spirited girl (well played by Helena Carroll with the right sort of peppery vigor), the local manpower shortage has made her "the fright of seven townlands for my biting tongue" out of sheer frustration...
...observations of 10.7 cm radiation transmitted daily from the National Research Council at Ottawa, Canada, he took a longer look, and found the amazing correspondence between solar emission and satellite acceleration reproduced above. This one-for-one relationship led him to form in December the daring conclusion that some sort of particle emission, or wave emission, from the Sun was responsible for the variations of the satellites. This would mean, he said, that the density of the upper reaches of the atmosphere was increased during periods of high solar activity. Not only had it been thought that the upper atmosphere...

Joel Crothers, Joel Henning, and Al Graubard, respectively, play these...
